愛 と 恋

I always had this question, what's the difference between 愛 (ai) and 恋 (koi) ?? Everytime i search it on google I arrive to different conclusions, and i can't distiguish a clear difference, so if someone could help me out, it would be much appreciated!!

I believe ai is love in general and koi is more referring to couples love, like romantic stuff, not sure but that's my impression.

Yes, these are love and romance, roughly speaking.
恋 is a romantic feeling or experience young people have. So we don't say 親子の恋.
